Best Garlic Presses of 2025

"I received the OXO garlic press as a Christmas gift, and I was really disappointed with my old one. Garlic oozed out and got stuck, making it hard to clean. This new one is a game-changer! It's made of stainless steel and presses easily, which is fantastic for my arthritic hands. Although it was a bit pricey, it's easy to use and doesn't frustrate me. I believe this one will last a long time."

"After using the OXO Good Grips Garlic Press for two years, I can confidently say it's held up really well. It tackles fresh or frozen garlic with ease. I simply throw in 1-3 cloves, press, and it doesn't clog. The cleanup is straightforward, too, and I even toss it in the dishwasher without any issues. My only minor hassle is needing to set it down if I want to add more cloves at once."

"I’ve come across several garlic presses, but this one is by far the sturdiest and most effective. I appreciate the fold-back skin ejector, which makes it easy to clean. It’s a bit heavy at 14.4 oz, but it has a nice grip and works well. For the price of almost seventeen bucks, I think it’s worth it!"

"I recently bought this garlic press and I couldn't be happier! It's not only sturdy and easy to clean, but the customer service from this family-owned company is outstanding. The quality is excellent, and I've used it daily without any signs of wear. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to wipe clean!"

"After struggling with a poor-quality press for years, I finally purchased this one. It crushes the entire clove into a nice fragrant paste with almost no effort! The peeler works perfectly too. I can't believe I waited so long to get a reliable garlic press – I highly recommend it!"

"This garlic press has saved me so much time! The customer service is amazing; they even reached out to inform me about their lifetime warranty. It's so well made and sturdy that I doubt I'll encounter any issues. Money well spent!"

"I was tired of mincing garlic by hand, so I got this heavy-duty garlic press. It can handle 2 to 3 cloves at once, but there's a little bit of garlic left inside that I can't save. I just use a knife to scrape it off, but overall, it’s much better than hand mincing and saves me so much time!"

"Having small hands means I need a garlic press that works for me. The OXO Good Grips Garlic Press is perfect. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and while it takes about 30 seconds to clean, that's typical for most presses. The soft handles make it comfortable, and I'm really satisfied with this purchase!"

"We use a lot of garlic, and this press is a game changer! It makes using fresh garlic so easy. The only downside is that garlic tends to get sticky in the holes, so we often have to run it through the dishwasher a couple of times to get it clean. Still, the sturdy design and great grip are what I love most about it!"

"I find this gadget to be exceptionally unique and a must-have for anyone who uses fresh garlic. It’s incredibly easy to use, allowing me to avoid the hassle of chopping garlic. I simply roll it over the cloves, and it minces everything, leaving no waste. Plus, cleanup is a breeze with just a rinse under hot water!"

"I was looking for something better than my regular garlic press, and while this gadget works well, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. I love the skin peeler that comes with it; it really is impressive. However, the main press didn’t help me work faster since it struggled to cut through some cloves."

"There’s absolutely nothing I dislike about this product. It’s perfectly designed and easy for someone with arthritis like me to use. I can place several cloves at once, and it crushes them all effortlessly. This tool has become an essential part of my kitchen!"

"I absolutely love this garlic crusher! It cleans up nicely, but I always make sure to dry it off after washing to prevent rust. I just use a soft scrubber with mild dish soap, and since I only use it for garlic, there's no need to throw it in the dishwasher. I use a lot of garlic and while I enjoy the flavor, I don't like the lingering smell on my hands. I still wear gloves, but this tool is very easy to use. I simply rinse and pat dry the garlic, place it under the rocker, and rock back and forth. It works wonders, even for my arthritic hands!"

"I've been cooking almost daily for nine months, and garlic is a staple in my recipes. Chopping garlic was a hassle and I was tired of the strong odor lingering on my fingers. I previously owned a traditional garlic crusher, but it wasted too much garlic and chopped it too finely. This one is just right for my everyday cooking. It crushes garlic into small, manageable pieces that resemble chopped garlic perfectly, and it's super easy to clean. I've been using it for a couple of months now, and it looks durable. However, it does require a bit of pressure to crush the garlic, which might be tough for those with wrist issues. My six-year-old child struggles with it, but it's suitable for any average adult!"

"I was really impressed with this tool! It’s sturdy and easy to use, making it significantly better than previous garlic presses I've tried. Cleanup is a breeze, and I feel confident using it without worrying about it slipping or bending. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking with garlic!"

"This stainless steel garlic press is a fantastic tool for quickly mincing garlic. Its solid and durable design handles cloves effortlessly. The peeler set is a great addition that makes everything even more convenient. Plus, it's dishwasher safe and rust-proof, ensuring it will last. Overall, it's a high-quality kitchen tool that simplifies meal prep!"

"I bought two of these, one for my daughter-in-law and one for myself. This product is well-made and useful. I love it! However, I find the cleaning brush they included to be cheap and not very helpful."

"Initially, I was frustrated because the garlic seemed to smoosh up the sides of the press. But after using the peeler they provided, I discovered that it worked much better! Now I get a lot of garlic through the holes, and I’m glad I didn’t return it!"

"I found this press to be fantastic! It doesn't require peeling the garlic, which saves me time. Cleaning is a breeze too, thanks to the little red brush that comes with it. It fits nicely in the handle and makes everything so much easier!"

"After testing several garlic presses, I can confidently say this Zyliss press is by far the best. It has a comfortable grip and provides the leverage needed for larger cloves, making crushing garlic incredibly easy."

"I bought this garlic press after my old one broke, and I’m really glad I did. It's super effective at extracting every bit of garlic without leaving behind any mess. The cleaning process is quick and simple, which I really appreciate!"

“I waited way too long to review this kitchen gadget, but better late than never! This garlic press is the chef's kiss for anyone who loves cooking with garlic. With 37 small spikes that perfectly match the chamber holes, this press maximizes efficiency whether I'm using peeled or unpeeled cloves. Each clove is effortlessly crushed into a ready-to-use paste, while the peels conveniently stay inside the chamber. No mess, no fuss!”

“Honestly, this is the best garlic press ever! It's easy to use, easy to clean, and feels sturdy. I bought one as a gift for a friend because I was amazed by the difference in quality compared to others I've used in the past.”

“As soon as I held this tool, I realized it's well made. Yes, a little squeezes past the sides, but I just repack it with another clove and I'm ready to go again. Cleaning is very simple and quick. I recommend this to anyone looking for a decent garlic press at a bargain price.”

"I was skeptical about this rocker garlic press, but after using it, I was pleasantly surprised! The rocking motion is key for getting all the garlic out. Cleanup is much easier than my old press, and I love that it comes with a sturdy spatula."

"I absolutely adore my Vantic Garlic Presser Rocker! It has made my kitchen experience so much easier. The arc shape and comfortable handle allow me to mince garlic quickly, even with my limited grip strength. It’s also incredibly durable and easy to clean."

"This little gadget is a gem! I finally got rid of my old garlic presses that were a pain to use. The included garlic peeler is a fun addition, and my cooking has improved because it’s so easy to use. I can’t believe I used to avoid garlic!"

“I bought this item for myself nine years ago and use it regularly. Its performance hasn't diminished and it looks brand new. I love that it's made entirely of steel and cleans easily, whether by hand or in the dishwasher. This garlic press is of great quality, just like my other Kuhn Rikon products. I’ve even gifted it multiple times!”

“I was initially hesitant due to the price, but I’m really impressed. It feels great in my hand and requires almost no effort to press even a large clove. Plus, it's super easy to clean. If it were cheaper, I would give it five stars!”

“At 70 years old, I can easily use this garlic press with one hand! It has made my cooking experience so much more enjoyable. Cleanup is a breeze, and if it ever breaks, I will definitely buy another one. It may be pricey, but it's worth every penny for garlic lovers like me!”
